5847,Remove twisted/python/_epoll.c,vperic,therve,"Our own epoll wrapper is not built on Python2.6+. As older Python versions are no longer supported, we can remove the module and instead use the implementation in the official library.

Attched patch removes mentions of it in twisted/topfiles/setup.py and a related private helper from twisted.python.dist. The _epoll module itself (t.p._epoll.{c,pyx}) and it's tests (t.test.test_epoll) have also been removed. Finally, t.internet.epollreactor has been changed to directly refer to the select module (rather than calling it _epoll) and a conditional import was removed.",task,closed,normal,,core,fixed,,thijs,branches/remove-epoll-5847-2,"therve, vperic",
